Global Transport Scenarios 2050

The World Energy Council (WEC) expects that transport fuel demand in the next forty years will come mainly from developing countries such as China and India, where demand will grow by 200% to 300%. In contrast, the transport fuel demand for the developed countries will drop by up to 20%, mainly due to increased efficiencies.

 

The report also sets out that oil may still fuel more than 80% of the global transport sector for the next 40 years due to strong demand growth from the heavy duty sector, shipping and air traffic.

Roadmap towards a competitive European energy market

WEC has recently been looking in depth into the question of market development to identify how current markets could evolve into a true EU internal electricity market. Based on the state of play of different European wholesale markets, WEC proposes a roadmap for the development towards a pan-European wholesale market. The roadmap should develop on regional and European level in parallel as regional markets are seen as an intermediary step.
